South Africa arrests Vietnamese nationals over rhino horn smuggling. The Vietnamese national is believed to be the owner of the Voi Game Lodge wildlife reserve. In 2011, the suspect had previously been fined and deported from South Africa for illegally possessing rhino horns. According to authorities, the Voi Game Lodge facility reported in early December last year that 98 rhino horns had been stolen during a robbery. DNA tests confirmed that the shipment found at Changi was the same batch reported stolen from Voi Game Lodge, according to the DA statement.
